Hey, I find it interesting that none of those who've touted the "skills" of
ham radio as applicable to goals in life, are even responding to this. I
was "echoing" their belief system.


Naw Kim, you were just trolling, and not very expertly. Nobody even
bothered to light off the Troll-O-Meter to take a reading.

With all kind wishes,

Gosh, I thought ham radio was supposed to be such
an added bonus to the "resume." I don't see a word of it mentioned.


Huh???? Why would an avocation like amateur radio be mentioned when
running for public office?

I can imagine that such a mention would make sense if he was a candidate

for
a job as an engineer or technician at an electronics or communications
oriented business, but as a governor?????? Did K7UGA campaign

literature
mention that he was a ham when he was the Republican candidate for

President
of the US?

Yes, that would have bought a half-decent ham shack. Or a fairly nice used
automobile. New paint for the house. But after a year, five, or ten, what was
purchased would be old and shabby.

In ten years, I'll still be able to say that I fought the good fight, got some
people to hear what I was saying, and 2100 residents of California thought
enough of me and my words to elect me Governor. That will never go away or get
dingy.

I came in 30th behind the Governor-elect. That's in the top quartile of those
who ran. And 35 million ahead of those who didn't.

Next month I can work a few more hours and buy that ham shack, car, or paint.
But I'll never again in my lifetime get a chance at running for Governor.

Bless you all for your kind thoughts...

Jim
